I was wondering if it was possible to measure the actual frequency received (echo) given that the ultrasonic sensor emits a pulse at 40kHz.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The BS2 interface is quite a ways away from this, though.
On the Parallax web site (link below) there is a document named "BS-1 Applications Notes". In that document, on Page 53, you will find a schematic of an ultrasonic set up (transmitter and receiver) which uses the 555 timer, a couple of ultrasonic transducers, and a few other parts.
Link to the above named document:

The example programs are for the BS-1 Stamp, and since you are using the BS-2 Stamp (a better and more powerful processor) the examples won't be of much use to you.
I hope that's helpful.
